TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, E. G. FAIRCHILD, of Sunderland, in the county of Franklin, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new Improvement in Bag-Holder; and Ida hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to, bee. full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-

Figure 1, a side view of the holder with the bag attached, and in Figure 2a vertical section-of the same. I

This invention is designed for the use Qfplautersand others for filling sacks of grain, the object being to support the. bag in the proper position, and at the same time a funnel for the mouth of the bag, through which the grain is poured into the bag, and the invention consists in the arrangement of a metallic frame, of funnel shape, provided with hooks upon its lower edge for supporting the bag, and witha hook upon one. side, and combined with a plate constructed with several lugs, upon either one of which the said funnel may be set to adjust the funnel to the proper height.

To enable others to construct my improvement, Iwill proceed to describe the same as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. v

A is a plate, which may be secured to a post or in any convenient position, and constructed with one or more projecting lugs a, formed v-shape upon theiredges. B is a funnel-shaped frame, formed from any suitable metal or material, provided at its lower edge with hooks d, and upon one side with a projecting arm, 0, thesaid arm being constructed so as to hook on to either of the lugs-a, and support the frame B, as denoted in the drawings. I mean by funnel-shaped frame, a frame-which expands fromlits lower edge upward, and as clearly seen in fig. 2. The plate A is arranged and securely attached in any convenient position, and the frame 13 placed upon the proper lug, according to the height of the .bag to be filled, then the bag-D is attached thereto by means of the hooks d upon the lower outeredge of the frame B. In this position the bag is filled through the funnel 13,-then removed, and another hag placed thereon, and so on;

By this arrangement the bag-holder is easily adjusted to different heights of thebag, and is extremely cheap and durable in its construction. p 7

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new anduseful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

wThe funnel-shaped mouth or frame 13, provided upon its lowercdge with hooks d, and upon one side with an arm, 0, and combined with a plate, A, which said plate is constructedwith lugs a, for the adjustment of the frame B, and arranged in the manner substantially as set forth. I
